In an unexpected yet warmly received political homecoming, leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State have showered accolades on Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, popularly known as JANDOR, commending his resilience, political vigor, and unwavering passion for Lagos—even during his stint in the opposition.
Addressing reporters at the APC Secretariat, the Lagos State Chairman and members of the Working Committee described JANDOR as “a force that kept us awake.” They acknowledged that his bold challenge to the status quo during the last election cycle stirred the political landscape and reawakened the party’s grassroots machinery.
“JANDOR challenged us in ways that were constructive. He reminded us that leadership is earned through action, not inherited through entitlement,” the party leaders stated. “Even while in the opposition, his love for Lagos was never in doubt. He was relentless, passionate, and clear in his purpose.”
The return of Dr. Adediran—one of the founding members of the APC—is being interpreted not merely as a symbolic move, but a strategic reintegration of a key political figure whose reach and connection with the grassroots remain formidable.
“We welcome JANDOR not just as a returning member, but as a valued partner in our collective mission to build a greater Lagos. His experience, insight, and energy will be vital as we fortify our ranks and chart a new course for progressive governance,” the Chairman added.
Political observers see his return as a unifying step and a reaffirmation of APC’s identity as a coalition of diverse, progressive minds focused on people-centered development and good governance.
